Alain Lestié

Alain Lestié was born in Hossegor in 1944. He lives and works in Cannes. In the 60’s, Alain Lestié could be considered as a “painter of the critic figuration”, wondering about the future of painting which, for many at the epoch, seemed destined to disappear.

The variety of Alain Lestié's drawings is infinite, to the liking of the artist’s dreams who are not without reminding, in much more sophisticated, some virtual worlds which haunt our screens. Alain Lestié doesn’t content itself with drawing. Is art and culture’s writings extend his drawings with a look’s assiduity and a distance with culturo-media’s agitation by means of a without concession sincerity.
